Ok, first let me mention that I am a newbie at terraining, but I like it and would like to improve, so suggestions and comments would be nice.

These two are pictures of a lake in a random forest I made, it isn't going to be used for anything, but I think they're fine.

They look nice, but a sky would help to the environment.

I can see you are not extremely experienced since you use Ashenvale. I do so as well, I know close to nothing about terraining. I for one like it!

I am certainly not an experience terrainer, but what's wrong with ashenvale? I think it is one of the best looking tilesets/doodad sets, even when it isn't my own work.

well i would advise you not to use cliffs when making water, use the shallow water when you start thingy instead and you should smooth some parts near the lake, but its good for newbie terrain (its easy to make good ashenvale terrain so many newbies use it)

SOMETIMES. I for one prefer to use no cliffs, that natural shoreline thing looks nice. Unless I have to for something such as a natural barrier.

The mountains look odd. They don't look like they are that big, but they have snow on them and the rest of the area doesn't. I would suggest changing the scale of the trees on the mountain to something small, or remove the snow from the mountain.

Whats with the icy mountains of 2 meters high in a green forest?
Add some fog and a sky.
Cliffs are ugly and your use of ramps makes them even uglier (you can see trough the terrain into newhereness).
Scaling is not good.

Sorry to be a little negative :) but it needs some work.

Nah, it is 3 meters.

Anyways, I should make some changes (if I can find the map), thanks for the suggestions everybody.
